I'm planning to arrive in time for the Newport Vintage Dance Week so
will be bringing 1850s, 1890s and 1910 outfit with me. Have heard

I will agree and disagree with this comment. We have a number of weekend
renfaires in my area, and a very big civil war event once a year. We are also

Hello all, while I have been fairly quiet on the mailing list until
today there are a few things that have been waiting to be passed along
to everyone.
First:
I know of an excellent source for good, plentiful, and usually dirt
cheap fabrics, trims, notions, etc. They now have a website I
Costume College 2010, presented by the Costumer's Guild West, is the first

I have been to the South Street shops once but found most of what was
being sold to be very expensive, like anywhere from $10-80 per yard
fabrics. Jo-Mar is very cheap. I went crazy last year, taffeta was on
sale for $2 a yard, and they had plaids in all different colours. I
ended up taking a

I remember Jo-Mar fondly from a visit in the late 90s. Stuff of
legend! :) I would be sure to look you up if I ever get back to the

Most remembered: having a huge bag with my purchases inside, I held
it by the top edge, using both hands. I slung it gleefully over my
